Looking back a few pages, i think i am not the only one facing this issue:

iPad Mini battery charged till 80+ % or 90+%, but not 100%, plugged in to charge, iPad mini refuse to charge.

After using it, or restarting it, most of the time, can charge again.

Not too sure if it is a battery issue, been having this problem over many months, didn't really bother me that much, battery life is still doing quite well after 8months of usage.

I also had this issue. Try to plug it to a dedicated wall outlet. Don't use a power strip or any surge protector power strips like belkin or APC.

I think most of the sets are like that.
Mine too, initially charged till 94% and that's it.
After restarting, it goes up to 96%. That happened in the first 10 charge or so.
But after a few more charge, its back to normal.

I just got my iPad Mini refurbished a few days ago. Good as new.

Big problem is more of a third party app-- Google Chrome.

Do you guys face battery drain using Google Chrome? The battery drain is quite shocking. :s22: Problem is all my bookmarks are sync using Chrome. In the end, I have to import to Safari and then sync using iCloud... :s22:

But then iPad mini is really great! Shrinking and making an already great product and making it cheaper is just awesome!

Hi

I didn't do any exchange. I bought the refurbished iPad mini from apple online store for $378 inclusive of free delivery. All the accessories are also new.

Cheers

Hi Bud

Id like to go the refurbished route too. I have been checking the apple store sg site but never see any ipad minis on there. Or are they snapped up the minute they show up there?

Cheers
